Faster way to replace stuff in GECK?

[Omny87]

Right now I'm working on a little personal mod that replaces weapon mods with ones of my own design, and was wondering if there was a faster way to replace in-game objects with other objects that doesn't involve clicking on every single individual leveled list it's in and replacing that object.

I already tried the "Find and Replace" function in the GECK- that's limited to replacing items found in the world, such as stuff lying on the ground and whatnot. As far as I can tell it doesn't affect the various leveled lists, I.E. the ones used by vendors and containers with random loot. Can anyone help me?

You can do a "used by" search by right clicking the item, then you'll get a list of everything that uses that object in a little window. It makes it easier to replace stuff, but there's no search and replace as far as I know.

Oh, I already know about that; I was just wondering if there was a faster way to do it than having to select "used by" for each and every item I want to replace.

You could write a script for FNVEdit that does it, but that's a lot of effort considering the near total lack of documentation on it.

[Omny87]

Yeah, scripting is a total pain in the ass and trying to read any tutorials on it makes me cross-eyed. The best I can do is find an existing script that does something similar and just re-write it to suit my needs.

Why not just edit the existing weapon mod, that way you don't have to do find&replace?

Edit: Misread the OP. You DON'T want a script to cycle through worldspace refs. My apologies.
